He/she has to become one within six months of appointment. Explanation: If a non-member of Parliament is appointed as a Minister, they must join either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha within six months of being appointed. Failure to do so will force them to step down from their post. This provision allows experts or influential persons to temporarily join the administration while seeking election to either House.
